I've got Debian running on a headless Sun SPARCclassic box and I'm having an
odd problem where the wtmp log file grows explosively, 10-15MB a day. I had
the same problem with Redhat 6.2 so I'm not sure what to make of it. Below

Yes, using touch seems to work. Would have done that sooner but since what
i saw when searching google didn't suggest this simple solution, I thought
there must be a problem with it.
